used to fine tune your list. let me know if there are any amendments to
be made, afsc50@hotmail.com

Check your tyre pressure as you fill up, this is a must!
Well planned rout card with fuel stops, make sure there open! Yarmouth
is a long way from any where!!
Plan your route sensibly; we are not teenagers any more. Give your
self an extra hour and try to ride in day light if possible.
When driving into petrol stations and coming off slip roads there is a
real danger from spilt oil and diesel so slow down and ride as if you
may come off!
